11 Pinterest People to Follow

Forget Facebook. Pinterest is the latest web craze to feed your beauty, hairstyle, and fashion addiction. Here's who you need to follow

A few months ago, my hairstylist asked me if I was on Pinterest. I had never heard of the site, and though she raved like it was the greatest thing since the Brazilian Blowout, I couldn’t help but be skeptical. I didn’t need another Facebook-like site or tumblr knock off.

Flash forward three months and I’m addicted. Yes, Pinterest* has me firmly in its clutches. If I want a quick, er, hour break, I simply browse around checking out my favorite pinners. It’s so bad that I find myself breaking out the laptop 10 minutes before bed just to show my boyfriend all my latest finds. (He’s not on Pinterest. Yet.)

So, who are my favorite pinners? These 10 ladies and one gent who pull together some of the most amazing boards on fashion, hair, makeup, and nail trends. If I want to try a bold braid, I know exactly who to go to. The same with creative new nail designs or fashion ideas for multiple ways to wear a blazer. (Don’t worry; you’ll soon have access to all that great inspiration as well.)

And once you’re done checking out these awesome pinners, head over to BeautyRiot’s Pinterest page. It’s even more of the great stuff you see on the site. Then, tell us: Who do you follow on Pinterest for the best fashion, hair, and makeup ideas? Leave your answer in the comment section below.

*If you’re not familiar with Pinterest, here’s a basic rundown: You have a page that has multiple boards, named for different topics, like beauty, fashion, hairstyles, etc. Imagine the boards like a corkboard above your desk. Any time you’re online and see a picture you like, you can click the “pin it” button and save it to one of your boards. You can also repin other people’s finds when you look on their boards. It’s super easy, a minor commitment, and a great way to organize your new obsessions.
